Autumn weather is definitely present and I feel I have not prepared enough for the new season, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. What am I going to wear when the rain is pouring and all the leaves have fallen???

Firstly, don’t panic! The high streets and the Internet are full to the brim with their latest collections ready for the cold season, and quite honestly I am delighted with the results.

Get ready for AW09 with the fabulous Marie Denee, who delivers fashion advice on her blog; The Curvy Fashionista to thousands of plus size fashion lovers and who is about to launch her fantastic plus size boutique Marie Denee. Curvy.Confident.Chic. She has kindly written a guest article so we all know how to dress this season. Thanks Marie and good look for your new boutique.
